The 80mm fan that comes with the SSG51 is 39CFM which is relatively quiet. I put in a fan that does 5400RPM @52CFM and damn is that thing loud. Yes it'll cool it down so I can play enemy territory and battlefield 1942 but it's almost as LOUD as a hairdryer. My choice which I'm probably going to do is just leave the cover off and put back the original fan. Luckily this is just my little kids computer and not my main one.
This new one with the external power supply isn't what I'm looking for. I actually despise having to use a custom power supply with this small pcs.
He doesn't care that's petty change to him seriously. He said he researched it at the avsforums and the RCA one had something messed up about the mirrors (each pixel has one..using DLP) and the reflection sucked but they have supposedly since rectified it.
I agree. There are always those 1% purists out there and those who have an IMAX theater inside their mansion. For the average joe, as you say which format reigns supreme isn't of any concern to us average joes (me included) for at least 6 to 8 years from now. I remember I almost bought a dvd player back in Japan in 1994 or 1995 for around $700. Instead, I opted for a $400 VHS recoder.
720x480 does injustice to a 1080 HDTV. My co-worker just spent $38,000 on a 56" Samsung DLP. Now when I can afford something semi-equivalent only then will I jump ship off of DVDs.
